I got a call from an IBM reseller in the region wanting to sell me a SAN. I advised that I had decided to step back and look for a consultant to help me figure out what my needs are. At that point the sales droid advised that they were also consultants. My first instinct is to tell them to go jump, as it seems like it would be a huge conflict of interest and they are probably going to tell me I need to buy a SAN, specifically an IBM SAN.
What is the opinion of you folks on the list about hiring consultants? Do you worry about conflict of interest such as this or do you just hire someone? I'm tempted to just hire one of the fellow list members (assuming I can get authorization) who offered their services, as they seem to be *just* D/R consultants and are not going to have an axe to grind. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
